Chapter 8: Sudden Strange Illness

Having spoken, she hurriedly rushed away from the Nie family

Grandfather, if it weren't for my recklessness, you could still ... ... " Nie Tianqing said

Leaving the square, they arrived at a rockery pavilion. As Nie Donghai's footsteps came to a halt, Nie Tian softly offered an apology

Prepare yourself, we will take Nie Tian to Lingyun Sect right away. I will kneel before the gate of Lingyun Sect and plead for their assistance

Nie Donghai was secretly moved, reaching out to press his hand against Nie Tian's waist and abdomen, attempting to sense.

"Convey my message, whether it is to the renowned doctors of Black Cloud City or those from other places, as long as they can bring down Nie Tian's fever, I will reward them handsomely!" Nie Donghai exclaimed

Until the early hours of the morning, Nie Tian still had a high fever that would not subside

Three renowned physicians have employed various methods, yet Nie Tian seems to show no response, and the high temperature within his body shows no sign of decreasing.

As soon as Nie Donghai entered, Nie Qian, like a drowning person seeing a light boat, hurriedly exclaimed: "I don't know what happened, but after dinner, Xiao Tian started to have a fever. His body temperature is rising higher and higher now, and I am extremely anxious, not knowing what to do."

The battle has ended, and I have made a sincere effort to sense it, yet there is not even a trace. Nie Tian thought for a moment and then said: "But I can be certain that the power is within me. However, it seems that it cannot be utilized for the time being; it appears only to emerge in the most perilous moments."

However, he unexpectedly discovered that, just as Nie Tian had said, the lightning and electric light that Nie Hong had gradually infiltrated had completely vanished without a trace

Another day has passed

Hmm. Nie Tian nodded obediently

Three renowned physicians continuously experimented on Nie Tian using methods such as medicinal juice, acupuncture, and ice compresses, hoping to help him reduce his fever in a short period of time

Nie Qian wept softly, murmuring intermittently: "My poor little sister, if she knew that I did not take good care of Xiao Tian, she would not rest in peace down there. Xiao Tian is only ten years old; if anything were to happen to him, I would not want to live anymore. Anyway, those people in the clan do not wish us well, so we might as well die together..."

A faint trace of spiritual energy drifted restlessly within Nie Tian's body like a wisp of silk. He carefully sensed it, yet found nothing.

Nie Donghai hurriedly left the study and went to Nie Tian's room with Han Yue. Upon entering, they saw Nie Qian anxiously standing on the windowsill of Nie Tian, holding a cloth bundle wrapped around ice cubes, applying it to Nie Tian's forehead, hoping to help reduce his high fever.

Night falls

Father! It is they who have bullied Xiao Tian, who have caused you to be injured, and have made your realm regress instead of progress! Over the years, they have relentlessly pressured you, completely disregarding you as the head of the family, and have acted recklessly. Now, they actually resort to using a child to force you to abdicate; this is too much, and I cannot bear it!

"No," Nie Donghai knew what he wanted to say, shook his head, and explained gently, "There is no such thing. I also plan to step back. Over the past few years, I have been blinded by hatred, spending too much energy on seeking revenge. Unfortunately, the Nie family is not a particularly powerful family, and even if I borrowed the strength of the family, I still could not find that bastard"

Good! I will arrange it immediately! A glimmer of hope reignited in Nie Qian's eyes

"It must be Nie Hong who harmed her. Nie Hong has cultivated to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and his spiritual power can even overflow. How could he shamelessly bully Xiao Tian! It must be the residual lightning energy he left in Xiao Tian's body that is causing trouble. Uncle still dares to hold Xiao Tian accountable, forcing Father to relinquish the position of family head. I will settle the score with them right now!" Nie Qian was furious and wanted to confront Nie Beichuan.

Stay here honestly! Nie Donghai shouted

Nie Beichuan and the other elders of the Nie family were aware of Nie Tian's sudden illness, and they all came to visit one after another. Regarding Nie Donghai's relinquishment of the position of family head, they did not press the matter during this period.

The three renowned doctors, submissive and hesitant, did not dare to refute and left the Nie family in shame

Nie Donghai, who had not slept a wink all night, touched Nie Tian's forehead with a heart full of pain, discovering that his body temperature remained at an extremely dangerous level

Grandfather, I am sorry

I understand. Nie Tiandao

Nie Donghai remained silent, his gaze seemingly lost in thought. After a long pause, he slowly said: "This matter should not be discussed with others."

Father

Nie Donghai and Nie Qian looked on anxiously at Nie Tian, who was burning with a high fever and whose body was flushed red, their faces filled with despair

"Shut up!" Nie Donghai shouted angrily, "If you dare to say another inauspicious word, see if I won't slap your mouth!"

Xiao Tian's high fever is the most pressing issue we need to address right now! Nie Donghai glared at her and said: Other matters can be set aside for the time being. You need to go find a renowned doctor from Hei Yun City immediately. I want them to quickly bring down Nie Tian's fever; I can feel that the temperature within Nie Tian's body is still rising!

"You are worthless, unable to even treat such a simple fever. How can you still call yourselves renowned doctors!" Nie Donghai exclaimed angrily, panting.

I am contemplating! Nie Donghai's expression was grave, "Over the years, I have done my utmost for the Lingyun Sect. Now that I am old, I plan to step down. Perhaps the old immortal of the Lingyun Sect will take my face into consideration and intervene to save Nie Tian once."

She is well aware of the extraordinary abilities possessed by the high-level Qi Refiners of the Lingyun Sect. If those powerful Qi Refiners were willing to exert their efforts, Nie Tian might still have a chance of salvation

So be it, you go back to find your aunt. Remember, starting tomorrow, I will no longer be the head of the Nie family, and in the future... do not be too mischievous. The next time you have a conflict with the children of the family, do not be too harsh.

Master! Master! Another physician has arrived, claiming that he can save Xiao Tian

Subsequently, Nie Donghai dove into the Nie family's study, pulling out numerous obscure books on the subject of cultivation to study, attempting to uncover the reason behind Nie Tian's physical abnormalities

Father, please think of another way!" Nie Qian shouted

Nie Donghai nodded with a smile, gazing deeply at him. His expression shifted as he said earnestly: "Just now, you were clearly on the verge of collapse. Why did you suddenly find the strength to turn the tables, causing that brat Nie Hong to suffer a great loss?"

After a brief pause, Nie Donghai sighed deeply and added, "Perhaps, even if I find that guy, I won't be able to do anything. I clearly know how the Yun family treated your aunt, and the Yun family is located in Heiyun City, but what can I do?"

Unfortunately, after reading more than ten scriptures, he still had no clue

I have grown old, and my health is deteriorating. Rather than wasting unnecessary energy, it is better to spend more time with you

All the renowned physicians from Heiyun City, including those from surrounding cities, came upon hearing the news, each employing their own methods, hoping to bring down Nie Tian's fever in exchange for the substantial reward from Nie Donghai

That night, Nie Qian's maid, Han Yue, hurriedly came to report that Nie Tian had inexplicably developed a high fever

However, until that night, Nie Tian still had a high fever that had not subsided

An hour later, the three renowned physicians of Black Cloud City gathered beside Nie Tian

I also do not know what exactly is going on. Nie Tian was equally perplexed, "Just when I thought I was doomed, it seemed that... a powerful force surged from my entire being. Once that force burst forth, the residual electric light within me was instantly extinguished, and as a result, I gained the strength to counterattack.

Understood

"So hot!" As soon as it touched Nie Tian's skin, Nie Donghai couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. His expression suddenly became serious as he said, "Something is not right; his body temperature is too high, this is abnormal!"

Nie Donghai and Nie Qian's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins as they watched yet another physician from Heiyun City, carrying a medicine box, helplessly walk out of Nie Tian's room

Nie Donghai turned around, and after Nie Tian approached, he smiled and gently patted his head, saying affectionately: "It's alright, Grandpa is tired, it's time to take a rest."

Just as Nie Donghai and his daughter were about to set off for Lingyun Sect, the maid Han Yue burst in, shouting loudly.

Ah? The body temperature is still rising? Nie Qian panicked and no longer insisted on finding Nie Beichuan to settle the score, hurriedly saying: "I will go right now!"

"Grandfather, I will be sensible in the future and will no longer continue to fight with Nie Hong. Once I become strong, I will help my aunt seek justice from the Yun family!" Nie Tian said with determination.

The afternoon of the second day

Strange..." He withdrew his hand in confusion and asked, "Did you sense that power again later?"

"Do not panic, let me take a look." Nie Donghai hurriedly stepped forward, his rough hand resting on Nie Tian's chest
